Most people don't realize that it was not until well after Jesus' time that the Romans (or anyone else) drank straight wine. That was considered gauche and a concept introduced by the Gauls (French) much later. Instead, the Romans typically drank half wine/half water.
So, the wine that Jesus produced from water was actually half water anyway.

The Bible doesn't say the water was turned into half water and half wine. It says Jesus turned water into wine. I don't care what the culture may have done back then. Jesus did it different.
But that isn't your point is it? You are trying to take a miracle and cast doubt on it. I believe Jesus did what He did.

The***PRAYNOGRAPHER*** will have to settle this once and for all. We all know that no one can simply turn water into wine, but it would be very easy to boil some cannabis. Stirred not shaken. Then the people got the best buzz ever.Then after getting everyone stoned he turned them on to some of his other miracles. It was then at this party jeezus showed the people how to masturbate, and it was called Miracle whip. Words of wisdumb from the***PRAYNOGRAPHER***

I can't do it, how bout you? Every body wants some. Need some too.
By the way the wine was considered better than the first wine offered to the guests. It was their tradition to offer the best first and then when the people were happy offer the cheaper wine.

wine is wine. I think also they would add water to the wine after being all wine, The Bible says what a strong drink. That is why they would mix wine.Also in the Bible.

Really, half water?
Well, that's it then! I'm convinced! So much for my Christianity, if it was only HALF miracle wine, my faith is dead. ;)
Just kidding, of course. Doesn't matter, full wine, half wine, the guy still turned water into wine.
And who say's they didn't cut it after he made it? :)

the obtrusive answer to the question, "Did Jesus turn water into wine?" is definite. on the marriage ceremonial dinner in Cana of Galilee recorded in John 2:a million-11, Jesus became water into wine. although, this question does no longer frequently ask what's meant by ability of it. what's frequently meant is "Did Jesus make intoxicating wine?" And the answer is not any. enable me clarify. The note translated "wine" in English ( in Koine‚ Greek) can search for advice from with both alcoholic or non-alcoholic wine. at modern-day, the time period "wine" is basically about used solely of alcoholic wine, yet enable us not in any respect be in charge of interpretation depending totally upon modern-day day definitions. evaluate those examples of the note "wine" being utilized in Scripture with connection with unfermented grape juice. with the exception of the particular undeniable actuality that replacing water into wine calls for supernatural means, the most superb problem about this miracle is that because of it “He hence printed His Glory and the disciples placed their faith in Him.” helping a buddy with a beverage difficulty as a opt to His mum? Many commentators placed this miracle way down their record of significant issues Jesus did, in the adventure that they comprise it in any respect, yet John placed it first and connected substantial magnitude to it. should be better occurring the following than meets the interest. The previous Covenant that in basic terms quickly placed aside our sins (represented by ability of the water). hence by ability of this miracle Jesus fairly did exhibit His Glory and also you would possibly want to work out why the disciples placed their faith in Him.

Even if it was half water turned to all wine, that is still a pretty good trick. But it was water.
btw, wikipedia is not a good source of info.

I don't get your point....if you're saying that that wasn't that big of a deal even I could do it. Show me!
As far as miracles are concerned that one just happened to be His first miracle. Try raising someone who has been dead and buried for about a week from the dead.
